“Alright, let’s sit down and eat . ”

Pei Zhenghui, a sly old fox in the corporate world, could tell that Tang Xiaoyu had some opinion about his family .

He glanced at her briefly before instructing Pei Shishi and Zhou Zhuoyang to sit down .

“Okay, Daddy . ” Pei Shishi smiled and then pulled Zhou Zhuoyang to take their seats opposite Pei Ge and Tang Xiaoyu .

Once everyone was seated, the nanny served the dishes .

The big table was filled with food in that instant .

Not only were the dishes on the table plentiful, they were expensive and rarely seen in normal hotels as well .

Never mind the price, one look at the food-laden table, and Tang Xiaoyu could say with a snort that Pei Zhenghui’s family really had the style of an upstart .

“What’s wrong, Xiaoyu? Is our family’s cooking not to your liking?” After being ridiculed by Tang Xiaoyu earlier, Pei Shishi was looking for a chance to get back at her and eyed Tang Xiaoyu with much hate .

She was never fond of Tang Xiaoyu, who was just like Pei Ge with her princess-like attitude .

Pei Ge was far from that most-loved princess in the past, though, and was now just an average woman .

Tang Xiaoyu, meanwhile, remained a high and mighty princess .

“Heh…” Tang Xiaoyu chuckled mirthlessly as she looked at her . “Sister Shishi sure takes notice of me . ”

“Of course, you are our family’s guest . I have to host you,” she replied gently .

If the looks in their eyes could take form, then the others at the table would see bolts of volatile lightning clashing in the air .

However, even if they could not see anything, the rest could tell that the two were on the verge of exploding .

“Ke!” Pei Zhenghui coughed lightly as he glanced at Pei Shishi .

Pei Ge pulled at Tang Xiaoyu’s arm and softly urged her to back off .

It was only then that the two reluctantly withdrew their swords .

“Stop talking; let’s finish eating and go back . ” She felt extremely tired, and because of Tang Xiaoyu, she did not get to ask why her second uncle’s family had invited her family over for dinner .

“Qie . ” Tang Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and twitched her mouth . She shot Pei Shishi a look but kept mum .

The table finally quieted down once the two stopped hurtling insults at each other .

However, this silence was short-lived .

“Ge Ge, your company should’ve taken on a new project, right?” Pei Zhenghui asked in a very harmonious voice once he finished drinking his soup .

At his question, Pei Ge, who was eating fish, almost choked on its bone .

She spit out the fish bone before replying, “I don’t know . ”

“How can you not know? Aren’t you CEO Ji’s secretary?” he gently asked with a doting smile .

“Second Uncle, it is precisely because I am CEO Ji’s secretary that I don’t know . If I was still in the Planning Department, I would know,” she replied plainly .

She was now filled with suspicion . Why would her second uncle ask her such a question?

“Oh… I see . ” He nodded as his face scrunched up in deep thought .

Seeing his expression, she did not ask further .

She already felt that today’s meal was weird enough .

However, her choosing not to ask question did not mean that others would not .

“Ah Hui, what’s the matter?” Zhang Manhua asked with concern when she saw his pensive expression .

“Aiiii!” He sighed heavily before looking at the mother-daughter pair . “Our company is clashing with Chenguang Real Estate over a project again . ”

Pei Ge’s grip on her chopsticks tightened at his words .

“Ah? What to do, then?” As a housewife, Zhang Manhua of course did know the intricacies of the corporate world and did not realize the implication in his words, only thinking that he was in a pickle .

“That’s what I actually want to request from our Ge Ge: to check Chenguang Real Estate’s take on this project is . ” He helplessly shook his head as he cast a look in Pei Ge’s direction .

With that, she finally understood why her second uncle’s family had suddenly invited them over for dinner .

“Ge Ge, if you know, share it with your second uncle,” her mother turned to her and urged her lightly .

When she heard her mother’s words, she really did not know whether to laugh or cry .

She truly did not know the details of this project, but even if she did, she could not say them .

If she did, she would become a corporate spy, and her future could be ruined by such a label .

“Auntie, you don’t understand . Never mind that Ge Ge doesn’t know, even if she does, she can’t tell Uncle Pei about it, either, or she’ll get fired . ” Tang Xiaoyu chuckled as she placed her chopsticks down to stare coldly at him .

Indeed, this old rascal is as bad as before . A dog really can’t change its fur .

“Ah, that serious?” Zhang Manhua was stunned by her words and then shot him a disbelieving look .

Since the matter was so serious, why would he ask her daughter such a question? Could he not know the seriousness of his request?

For the first time, she felt that he, who had always been kind to them, made her feel alien and… scared .

“Auntie, this is not as serious as Tang Xiaoyu made it seem . We’re just casually chatting here . Besides, Ge Ge didn’t say anything . ” Pei Shishi revealed a gentle smile in a bid to comfort Zhang Manhua .

“Heh, not that serious? I think you all invited Ge Ge over here for a meal with ill intention,” Tang Xiaoyu retorted coldly as she slammed her chopsticks down on the table with a loud pak  .

Uncle Pei and Auntie Zhang are such kind people; how can they have such evil relatives?!

I really don’t know how Auntie Zhang and Ge Ge have survived all these years!
